characters in passwords (Score:2)
When selecting a password, I tend to sit down with a random number generator and an ASCII table. Really. As a result, I've occasionally had problems with interesting characters in certain situations. I remember problems with @ and >, and one great time when I couldn't seem to log into a sun machine because my password contained ~ and it was in a different spot on the keyboard. :)
